Snohomish County has no single 'clear your brush' ordinance countywide, but the 2021 Washington Wildland-Urban Interface Code applies to new commercial and residential permits on parcels mapped high or very-high wildfire hazard, requiring ignition-resistant construction and driveway/access standards.
Vegetation clearance is governed through Washington's Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code, effective statewide July 1, 2023, adopted under RCW 19.27.560. Counties, cities, and towns issuing building permits for parcels identified as high or very-high hazard on the wildfire risk map must apply class-1 ignition-resistant construction and access requirements. Driveways are required where any part of the first-story exterior wall is more than 150 feet from a fire apparatus access road, with turnarounds beyond 300 feet. Broader defensible-space vegetation provisions apply only where a jurisdiction adopts additional portions of the International WUI Code. For a specific parcel, contact the Snohomish County Fire Marshal.
Non-compliance is enforced through the building-permit process for parcels in mapped high and very-high wildfire hazard areas; permits will not be issued until WUI requirements are met.
